Question / Help How does this look?

Is my bitrate too low?

It looks pretty good on my end. Just a question though, why do you still stick with 0.432 :)

 

[Mr_KyleG]

Doesn't look bad at all.

I would put quality at 10 and audio at 128.

Also, what is your upload speed? I'll help you get a good bitrate setting.

 

[sh0gunshin]

Thanks for all the input guys :)

i like 0.432a because it's been the most stable so far. What's the point of upgrading if it's working :). Once Jim figures out the kinks in game source and optimizes the settings, i'll go ahead and try it out and see if its better than capturing with dxtory, but for now i'm happy with it.

My net connection is 20/2. Is there a noticeable difference between 96 and 128? I'm not sure about this, but i think the sound also seems a little bit quieter on OBS compared to Xsplit

 

[Mr_KyleG]

I can tell the difference between 96 and 128, but some may not. I just like the clarity it gives. Also, you should try 480p using the Faster preset. Your bitrate is fine at 1500.

These should give you better quality while being less pixely as well. =D

 

[sh0gunshin]

Here ya go

480p @ 60 fps

Peak Core Usage 70%

Thoughts?

I think it looks fantastic! Nice smooth video and very clear!
